Media bias
Christian Century, March 8, 2005
MEDIA BIAS: Christians, by reason of their commitment to a higher authority, should be wary of official versions of the truth--not just those from governments, but those from the media as well. The range of news stories is often limited, and the point of view inevitably carries bias. Here are some strategies for overcoming news media bias: Seek news sources outside the U.S.
Become alert to the bias built into mainstream news coverage. Ask yourself whose voices are getting a hearing in the news coverage. Pay attention to the framing of a story. Is some larger narrative suggested? Ask yourself how many viable options are portrayed in the news. For example, are only two extreme examples posed as possibilities? Look at the stories that get buried deep in newspapers. Why don't they get more prominent play? (Currents in Theology and Mission, February).
